Clean Classics! 1959 Lister-Jaguar Sports Racer

Back in 1954, the good folks over at Lister got their start in racing. Brian Lister began making tube-framed race cars in Cambridge, England. Lister made an impact in the late 50’s, thanks in part to the Lister-Jaguar, which was powered by Jaguar’s straight-six. Today we get a look at a 1959 Lister-Jaguar Sports Racer, a pristine model that is set to hit the auction block soon.

This outstanding ride was campaigned by American driver Briggs Cunningham’s team, and it still features the iconic Cunningham white with blue stripes paint scheme. This car won the SCCA C-Modified National Championship, driven by British legend Sir Stirling Moss.

The same car sold for $1.1 million nearly a decade ago when it was last at auction. Have a look at this iconic and legendary machine in the images below and give us your thoughts in eh comments. Head over to Bonham’s to learn more and place your bid immediately.
